The Biden government declared that certain groups of immigrants, including those wanting green cards and spouses of H-1B visa holders, will be able to use their expiring work permits for another 18 months. Thousands of immigrant visa holders, including Indians, have received positive news from the United States government. A critical decision regarding the work permit visa expiration date has been made. The deadline for those whose visas in certain categories are about to expire has been extended for another 18 months. The decision will take effect on May 4, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. This covers holders of green cards and H-1B visas. EADs have been extended for another 540 days, but they can still be used for up to 180 days after they expire.
